I misspoke in the audio - RAID is Redundant Array of Independent Devices. There, now you can have an extra laugh at me. Invite your friends to have one too, or more than one! :-)

Skeleton of fundamentals to begin with on your quest to become an administrator - more to come in episodes to follow.

A tale of woe and triumph.

I talk about these three constructs, in the opposite order :-), to give you a better understanding of what they are and why you may care.

I also explain my long gap between episode 23 and now.

In this episode I talk a little about how devices are accessed through file system mount points and also how files can be linked together.

Based on this artivle in the Verge, https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z, I decided to take a side trip and discuss what kinds of storage there are on a computer and how file systems, files and folders/directories (same thing) are set up and how to use them effectively.  I welcome comments, questions, any kind of feedback you'd like to provide.

Enjoy!

We go into a few more bits about shell special characters, then discuss good Linux file naming conventions and a brief sketch of how to organize your files.  Feel free to let me know what you like, don't like, want to know - anything.

Today we'll cover a few more of the characters that the bash shell, your command line interpreter, treats as something other than what they look like - wildcards and more.

This is scratching the surface of some of the flexibility of the terminal interface, the command shell (bash) and ways to use it.
